In fact, from the moment he planned to bring hundreds of thousands of Russians back to farm, Marin's mentality changed tremendously. He no longer insisted on the concept of developing a country dominated by German immigration that he had set at the beginning, but instead changed to an eclectic attitude.
However, as the natal race after traveling through time, the Germans will become the basis of ruling in the new American countries. Specifically, they will allow the same races to become soldiers, become great craftsmen, and master the most core resources and power of society. As for the others, they can be distributed to other ethnic groups.
For example, what can I give farming work to the Russians? In addition, it is also possible for the French, Italians, and even the American Indians.
But there is a prerequisite, that is, the proportion of the population of all ethnic groups must be strictly controlled and cannot exceed that of the North Sea Kingdom immigrants. In the future, the Germans of the North Sea Kingdom will also share America with the English. In this way, the two major ethnic groups work together, and not to mention anything else, North America will definitely be able to control it.
However, the French are not active now, and the Russians have not yet snatched them. The most realistic thing at the moment is to use local Indians in the Americas to help with their labor. Although the Indians are not as efficient as the blacks, it is good to have labor force, and Marin is not picky.
Marin suspected that there should be very few Yin and merchants who arrived in Mexico alive. The local Indian subjects were definitely not Chinese blood, otherwise, they would definitely not be inferior to black people in terms of farming talent. You should know that the labor efficiency of Chinese workers sold to Cuba in the 19th century was far superior to that of black slaves.
Therefore, Marin felt that the Shang people who arrived in Mexico alive should be a very small number of them. Then they were integrated by the locals. Therefore, Indian civilization did not develop to a certain level, but was only partially improved. The locals did not gain the talent of the Chinese to farm, otherwise they would not be unable to catch up with the blacks.
However, the Mexican Indians can indeed be regarded as the most talented American Indians in farming. Corn cultivation was created by the locals. Moreover, Marin suspected that it was created by the surviving Shang people.
Because the Spanish name of corn is called "maiz", which is a transliteration of the language of the local indigenous people. The pronunciation is very similar to "wheat". Perhaps it was named by the Shang people who cultivated corn into grains by the name of wheat in their hometown.
...
Of course, these are not important. What is important is that the Aztecs are indeed very suitable for farming.
According to the information, they implemented a village and community system. In addition to the private land of the nobles, the land in the village is generally owned by the village and community. The village and community allocated a certain amount of cultivated land to each male owner according to the number of male laborers in each family and cultivated for life. If the male owner dies and does not have strong laborers, the land will be taken back by the village and community. In addition, if the distributed land is not cultivated for two consecutive years, it will also be recovered. In addition, the food collected by the village and community will be left to the empire for some of its own use.
In the history of the Shang Dynasty, the land system was exactly the same as that of the Aztec Empire, and it was divided into private land and village public land. The Shang Dynasty farmers could only get their own land through communes. The specific one was the well-field system.
However, the Aztec Empire's agriculture did not have iron farm tools or ox plowing. However, iron farm tools and ox plowing appeared only in the Spring and Autumn Period in the late Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, Mexico inherited the original version of Shang Dynasty agricultural technology, and even the castrated version of Shang Dynasty agricultural technology. After all, the Shang Dynasty also had bronze tools. But because there was no wheat and millet, we could only use local corn. Of course, when we arrived in the Caribbean, we also used local sweet potatoes and cassava. When we arrived in the Incas, we made potatoes.
Although the farmers of the Aztec Empire's farming skills were primitive, they were farmers after all, and they were used to doing farming. When they got them in their villages, they could easily get started with farming. Unlike the Indians in the North American jungle, many of them were hunting tribes. They didn't do farming, and even if they were caught, they would be difficult to cultivate them into qualified farmers. Because the hunting people were used to being in trouble and were not used to staying in the same place for farming. Therefore, in history, North American colonists bought large numbers of black slaves to farm. Because the Indians in the local hunting tribe were really not good at farming. However, they could fight, which caused the colonists to suffer a lot in the early days. If they had not been divided into multiple tribes and attacked each other, the early colonists would not have gained a foothold in North America.
Therefore, Marin divided the American Indians into two types: farming and not farming.
The Indians who farmed not only had the skills of farming, but also had a gentle personality and were relatively easy to manage. After all, Marin also wanted to let them farm, which was part of their life. However, the only two changes were that they used new technologies and tools; the other was that the remaining grains were handed over, and the object of handed over to Marin was changed from the original Aztec Empire to handed over to Marin...
But it is much harder to make the Indians hunting. These people are a bit like the Jurchens in Northeast China. They are strong by nature and have strong combat power. However, they are a little more primitive, and there are no outstanding leaders who stand up to unify them. Otherwise, relying on their familiarity with the jungle, it is really difficult for Malin to wipe them out.
For the hunting Indians, Marin's attitude was to win over and recruit them first, but if they won't win over, they would be wiped out. Originally, Marin had a headache about how to wipe out them. However, since he thought of using the Sorons (Orqen people) to wipe out the Indian jungle tribes, it was easy to deal with them. The Sorons were fighters in the jungle tribes in this era, equipped with bows and arrows and armor provided by Marin, which would definitely beat any Indian jungle tribes. In addition, the Sorons could ride horses and fly around the jungle, and it would not be too simple to eliminate those Indian jungle tribes who refused to surrender.
As long as the warriors hired by Sauron are in place, Marin will immediately launch an attack on the Indian hunting tribes in the inland. They will either obey or be eliminated. Only by cleaning up those fierce jungle tribes and developing North American jungle will the progress of uninterrupted.
But if Suha recruits Sauron mercenaries, he will have to fight with the Jurchens first because of the fur trade. When Suha can free up his men and send them to North America, it will probably take one or two years to come.
Therefore, it is useless to attack the inland jungle hunting tribes. It is useless to be anxious. Instead, you can take action immediately when developing farmland.
The Aztec Empire was not convenient until the year when the "White God Returns" in 1519. However, the capture of the Taino people on Haiti Island seemed to have made some progress.
The Taino people are also an agricultural ethnic group. Although some people make a living by hunting, they account for a low proportion. Most of the million Taino people on the island are mainly planted cassava and belong to the tribes that are mainly agricultural.
Since it is mainly agriculture, it is naturally inseparable from the villages. Therefore, the colonial army sent to Haiti Island is now occupying villages one by one and plundering the population. Then, it is transported to Guantanamo Castle on Cuba Island to the west for screening. The so-called screening is to see if there is any syphilis. If there is, it will be sent back to Haiti Island to fend for itself. If there is no, after the isolation period, it can be sent to the Havana colony and handed over to Cuba Governor Tara, and arranged to be a serf.
While Marin was trying to seize the Russian serfs of the Grand Duchy of Moscow and the blood sacrifice captives of the Aztec Empire, the faraway Guantanamo Castle on Cuba, the place used to perform for the Holy See and the princes, has now completed the first identification of the Taino people.
Four thousand Hungarian mercenaries arrested more than 20,000 Taino people on Haiti Island and sent them to Guantanamo in batches by ship. Then, through isolation observation, the first batch of about 18,000 Taino people were found to be in trouble and were continued to be sent to the Havana colony. As for the remaining more than 2,000 syphilis carriers and the Taino people suspected of having aphids, they were sent to the south island of Jamaica and fend for themselves. However, the colonists of the North Sea Kingdom still gave them tools and cassava to make a living by themselves.
Now, more than 18,000 Taino people have been allocated by Tara to various plantations in the Havana colonial area. Tara is ambitious at this time and is ready to use the more than 18,000 people to open up 500,000 acres of sugarcane land and grain fields.
